\"worcester<\/p>\n

1. Summer starts at Uhlman\u2019s Ice Cream Farm Stand<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cOne thing I love about New England is the summer classics like ice cream farm stands,\u201d says Kelley from<\/span> Uhlman\u2019s Ice Cream in Westborough<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThey usually have cows out in the fields, sticky kids rolling down the hills near the picnic benches, and amazing sunsets. But best of all is their creamy ice cream\u2014recipes passed down from generation to generation. Summer starts when they open every year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Spend your lunch break at Worcester\u2019s Summer Festival<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cDowntown Worcester\u2019s annual Out to Lunch Festival & Farmers’ Market is a must-do summer tradition,\u201d says Lisa Malo, Marketing Director for the<\/span> Downtown Worcester Business Improvement District<\/span><\/a>. \u201cEach week, the Worcester Common comes alive with local food trucks, live music and entertainment, artists and makers, and a vibrant farmers’ market filled with produce and farm-fresh goods from across Central Mass. It\u2019s the perfect snapshot of Worcester\u2019s creative energy and community spirit, and one of our favorite ways to connect with neighbors in the heart of the city.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Visit the city\u2019s public market<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cWhen the weather gets warm, Worcester Academy students often head down the hill to Polar Park and the Worcester Public Market,\u201d says Sara Port from<\/span> Worcester Academy<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWhether it\u2019s cheering on the WooSox or grabbing bubble tea and tacos with friends, both spots have become go-to destinations for anyone looking to connect with the city and each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Celebrate culture and cool down at Gibby\u2019s<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cWorcester offers many ethnic festivals during the summer and fall\u2014Italian, Greek, Albanian, Hispanic, and more\u2014that showcase the foods, music, and traditions that are all part of Worcester\u2019s charm,\u201d says the team at <\/span>Gibson\u2019s Dairy<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAfterwards, there\u2019s always that special treat waiting at Gibby\u2019s Famous Ice Cream. Your farm in the city for over 100 years!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Discover some vintage finds and community vibes at Crompton Collective<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cOne of our favorite things to do in Worcester is spending a slow afternoon at Crompton Collective,\u201d says Jill Pearson from<\/span> Neighbor to Neighbor Massachusetts<\/span><\/a>. \u201cBetween vintage finds, locally made goods, and the Canal District Farmers Market next door, it\u2019s a perfect snapshot of the city\u2019s creative spirit. After coffee from Birch Tree Bread, we often talk about how to keep improving our city. Worcester is a city of love and opportunity, and we\u2019re proud to help better the lives of its residents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Learn and play at the Worcester Public Library<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a free, accessible place to spend the afternoon, nothing beats the Worcester Public Library\u2019s children\u2019s room,\u201d says<\/span> teacher and freelance writer based out of Worcester, <\/span>Sarah Connell Sanders<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThey offer frequent programming with songs, stories, and STEAM, plus a play workbench where my daughter loves playing \u2018auto mechanic.\u2019 She\u2019ll be changing my oil in no time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus: Climb aboard at Touch-a-Truck<\/b>
\n<\/b>For another free thing to do in the summer, <\/span>Touch-a-Truck event at the Worcester JCC<\/span><\/a> takes place on June 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. where you can explore giant construction and emergency vehicles, meet local mascots, do themed crafts, and enjoy lunch from food trucks.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Book up your calendar with special events<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cHonestly, it\u2019s hard to narrow down a favorite because Worcester really shines in the summer,\u201d says local real estate agent,<\/span> Adam Duffy<\/span><\/a>. \u201cFrom the Out to Lunch Festival and live concerts on the Common, to the Water Lantern Festival at Elm Park and the vibrant Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival\u2014there\u2019s something happening almost every week. It\u2019s that overflowing calendar of community, music, and flavor that makes summer in Worcester feel so alive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Climb a castle at Bancroft Tower<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cFor a hidden gem, I suggest checking out Bancroft Tower in Salisbury Park,\u201d says Crystal Daher from <\/span>Fun Things to Do in Central Mass<\/span><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a historic stone castle with stunning views of the city and a perfect spot for a quiet stroll or a picnic. Not many people know about this charming landmark, but it truly captures the unique character of Worcester.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Spend the day eating your way through Worcester<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cMy husband and I love any excuse to head into Worcester because that means we get to eat at the Worcester Public Market in the Canal District,\u201d says Nancy Mock of<\/span> Hungry Enough To Eat Six<\/span><\/a>. \u201cOur current favorite is Little Havana\u2014we grab ropa vieja Cuban bowls and change up the toppings every visit. After that, it\u2019s gelato cones from Froze Zone while we browse the stalls. Don\u2019t skip Green Street either; Seed To Stem has a fascinating collection of plants and nature artifacts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Celebrate the Fourth with a symphony and fireworks<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Worcester fireworks are one of the city\u2019s biggest and most beloved summer traditions,\u201d says Charlene Arsenault from<\/span> The Worcester Guardian<\/span><\/a>. \u201cUsually held the Thursday before the Fourth at Cristoforo Colombo Park, it\u2019s an old-school celebration with live symphony music, food vendors, and a fireworks show that lights up the entire east side.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
